Hi there
I have this vivid memories of a dish that my dad cooked for our family a long time ago, 10 yrs hmm.. Or may be longer, however it was a dish which got me wonder on the power of flavour combination and not underestimate how a simple spice can works wonder on a simple dish. 🙂
This dish is Mustard Chicken with Mushrooms. Mustard alone is a nice condiment but think of it as a main gravy, it can be a little daunting.
However this recipe may just surprise you, how wonderfully flavored the dish can be, with just the right amount of spice. 🙂
There I am, embarking of reviving a dish which brought me back 10 years ago. 🙂 this time using my beloved kitchen buddy – Happycall pan.
Things you will need :
- Boneless chicken thigh x 4 pcs
- Button mushroom x 1 can sliced
- Mustard (best to use Dijon mustard but as I found a new product in cold storage, I decided to try out this organic mustard) x 5 tablespoon
- Worcester sauce x 2 tablespoon
- Cream x 1 small carton
- Garlic x 2 cloves, crushed
- Onions x 1/2 sliced
- Salt and pepper
- Japanese cooking wine (optional)
Â
Directions
- Heat Happycall pan (or any pan) for 30 secs and place chicken thigh skin side down on the pan and close the pan, cook for 2-3 mins till the skin is crispy and flip the pan over to cook the other side. (this is why I love this pan, my kitchen won’t turn into a greasy nightmare and also I need not to add any oil to cook, so much more healthier this way)
- Clean the pan with paper towel with just a little residual oil left in the pan
- Sautéed garlic, onions and sliced button mushroom until slightly brown and turn the fire to low.
- Scoop in the mustard, Worcester sauce and cream and let it simmer till it bubbled up.
- Add salt, pepper and Japanese cooking wine to taste.
- Add some greens and rice and you have a wonderful dinner in less than 20 mins.
The key to this dish is to obtain both crispy skin & succulent chicken meat with a tangy gravy to pair up.
I have it with the Perfect Roasted Potatoes using goose oil and also boiled broccoli and baby carrots. Try pairing it up with asparagus or green beans, or perhaps swap the potatoes to roasted sweet potatoes too. 🙂
Oh and I found the gravy tasted even better after one night too. 🙂
Play around with spices and adjust the amount of mustard and Worcester sauce while cooking, don’t be afraid that there might be too much heat on the mustard because the cream will neutralize it.
